Rapiers and Rocketships

"The storm must be messing up the radio. Let me know if you hear anything." Ben frowns at the sounds of the passengers panicking.

"Willy, if anyone tries to get in here, thump 'em, and toss them back. I can't deal with anything else at the moment." This said, he redirects all of his attention back to keeping the flying boat in the air.

The commanding presense of Roland causes the man to stop dead in his tracks. He stairs at Roland for a second before he drops to his knees and begins to cry.

In the dark cargo bay, the large crate in which Sinead was resting against begins to shift as the plane's nose begins to drop. Loose items begin to slide forward and one of the straps holding the large wooden crate snaps. The small space where Sinead is sitting becomes just alittle bit smaller as the crate shifts.

Less then thrilled with the recennt changes in her suroundings, Sinead fratnically climbs, crawls, jumps or does whatever is needed to get out of the way of the crate. If she has to she will even leave the cargo hold, getting caught is still better than getting squashed.

Tom Hogan

"Come, now, man. Get ahold of yourself. You'll be fine, just get back in your seat." As he speaks, now more cajoling than commanding, he attempts to lift the man, and bodily move him back to his seat.

Tom Hogan watches purple and blue fire dance over the bulkheads in front of him and leaves off praying.
It seems pretty pointless.
He grips the arms of his chair until his knuckles go white and the wooden armrests crack.
"I can't die yet. I haven't seen The Jolson Story."

OOC: plagiarist hack!

The great seaplane's controls start to seize up and it begins to bank to the left into a steep dive. Unsecured items fly around the cabin. Roland is just able to dive back into his set and buckle up. Screams of fear and fervent prayers fill the plane.

Sinead is about to climb over the crates and luggage and she finds a trap door which leads up. She can hear the screams of the passengers through the door.

Ben tries his best to control the sluggish plane but it is no good. The ocean below rushes closer and closer as the plane goes out of control.

The planes hits the water with a................*POP!*...


..............a second drags on for a enternity..............


.....a book hangs in the air ....................................


.....the only thing you hear is a far off tearing sound...


..........then another *POP!* is heard.........................


The sounds of screams, the rush of air, the sound of the powerful engines rush back. Ears pop with a pressure change. The plane is suddenly flying level. The purple fire is gone but the smell of ozone fills the air.

One second Ben was looking at the ocean and the next a fog shrowded jungle looms in front of him. Well honed instincts save the day as he evades plowing into a giant tree. A powerful inpact is felt though and the flight crew sees about 4 foot of the left wing missing. Ben fights to control the plane and he sees what looks to be a lake to the left through a clearing in the forest.

For an endless moment Sinead does nothing while listening to the sounds of the plane and feeling the fall. Then she explodes into action, climbs up to the trapdoor and opens it in a hurry. Being stuck in a falling plane suddenly makes the thought of getting noticed a lot less important.

A Whole New World

Tom Hogan buries his face in his hands and concentrates on trying to die with dignity.

Tom lifts his face out of his hands just in time to see four feet of wing and a large tree pass by his window in a blur.
His mouth drops open.
"I t'awt drowning was wetter dan dis..."

LeeAnn already screaming becuase of the falling plane, completely freaks out at seeing a strange dirty person climb out of the hold.

As it is good old tradition Sinead stares in the face of the screaming women and, lacking a better idea, starts screaming in panick herself.

(OOC: I was waiting on Jarvel to post, but I need to get this game going again. Here we go!)


The plane shutters from the inpact of tree limbs and vines as it plows threw a thick jungle. The opprtunity to land in the passing lake is lost as it flys by. A small clearing opens up and the Ben takes a chance to bring the plane down. The sea plane bounces as it hits the ground hard. It comes down again with a crash. Sinead is thrown into Leeann's lap. A thick wall of trees rushes towards and Ben tries to turn the plane. A final bone jaring crash is felt as the plane hits the trees sideways.

Seconds, minutes, or hours past. You don't know for sure. Dust fills the cabin of the plane. Bright sunlight streams into the cabin from the left sides windows. The plane is on its side. People hang from straps of the left side of the plane. A few moans can be heard.


Sinead and Leeann awaken. Sinead lays on the floor at Leeann's feet. A cut seeps blood on Sinead's forehead. Her head pounds with pain.

Roland recovers quickly but he is hanging from his seat belt.

Tom feels like he just went 5 rounds with a gorilla. He sees a tree branch sticking through the plane and into the body of the young businessman who was sitting next to him.

Ben wakes up and looks around. The front wind sheilds are smashed and a thick jungle can be seen before him. Looking around Ben sees Willy laying slumped over his controls.
